Literature of Horror, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Alex Boatman's Class Entries. Posted by Alex Boatman. I decided to read the first book of the Pit Dragon Trilogy by Jane Yolen instead of The Golden Compass. I simply don't have any desire to read that book, not because of it's so-called "anti-spiritual" tendencies, I'm actually an atheist myself, but simply because it's not something I'm interested in.

Literature of Horror, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Alex Boatman's Class Entries. Posted by Alex Boatman. So it took a little bit of searching but I was finally able to find, and read, "The Tenants" by William Tenn. It's been extremely busy with all of my classes right now, not to mention that I'm overloading this semester, so I've been too swamped to find the time to read a whole novel for this class.

Anyway, I ended up reading The Graveyard Book. Instead of Anansi Boys. It just clicked after reading the book. I thought I would just make some comparisons then between The Graveyard Book. And The Jungle Book. On a side note, Neil Jordan ( Interview with the Vampire, The Brave One, The Crying Game. OR even better yet, read The Graveyard Book. I'm not ...

The parallels between Adams' world and our world's absurdity is brilliant, I mean, the earth gets blown up for make way for a hyperspace express route. There are so many wonderful quotes! The language itself is intriguing for me because it's so unique. The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't". Posted by Alex Boatman. I really liked reading th...

Literature of Horror, Fantasy & Sci-Fi: Bloodchild

Literature of Horror, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Alex Boatman's Class Entries. Posted by Alex Boatman. A large question that I had was whether or not the relationship between Gan and T'Gatoi can be considered incestuous since they're considered half-siblings; T'Gaoi was "taken from [Gan's] father's flesh when he was [Gan's] age." They are difference species, and Gan will be more of host much like a virus, so it may not be in physical terms. But incest is more of a cultural thing. You can leave a response. The R...

When I first read The Hobbit. A couple of times and then ended up focusing more on The Lord of the Rings. Trilogy after that, especially since about a year or two later the first movie by Peter Jackson came out. I don't remember reading The Hobbit. Is Bilbo entitled to take the Arkenstone? I know I wasn't pre...

Literature of Horror, Fantasy and Sci-Fi. Alex Boatman's Class Entries. Posted by Alex Boatman. I decided to read the new novel by Katie MacAlister called Steamed: A Steampunk Romance. I may need to have my own Steampunkapalooza! Last night I decided to start reading Snow Crash. By Neal Stephenson, and so far I'm really enjoying it. I didn't get a chance to finish reading Snow Crash. I did a little research on cyberpunk and found that the protagonists are often computer hackers with a sort of Robin Hood ...
